For the comfort and safety of its citizens, China blocks Blogger (which is where this blog is hosted) and parts of Picasa (which is where I keep my pictures). It looks like they may have missed the mobile interface to Blogger though, so I'm writing this on my phone and we'll see if it goes through.
While I typed the last paragraph, I've collected three mosquito bites on my hands. They really don't want people to blog here :-P
Mosquitoes aside, I'm enjoying Qingdao well enough. It's not a madly exciting place, but it works well if all you want to do is pass through immigration, book an onward ticket and eat some noodles. The ferry here was excellent too.
This town was built by Germans. It's funny to see European-style buildings everywhere and restaurants with German names. It's also why this town started producing one of China's most famous exports: Tsingtao beer.
I've got one more day here before I move on to Shanghai. Shanghai! I'm already geeking out about the maglev.
Very cool Tanya! Have fun!
